BILBERRY
CATAGORY: Nutrition
CONDITION: Eye Problems, Circulation, Anxiety, Arthritis, Eye Strain, Immune System, Inflammation, Overweight, Stress, Urinary/Glandular
DESCRIPTION: Bilberry Fruit. Bilberry grows in the sandy areas of the northern U.S. and in the woods and forest meadows of Europe. The name bilberry comes from the Danish bollebar meaning "dark berry." A relative of the cranberry, bilberry is also known in some parts of the U.S. as huckleberry. During World War II, British pilots used bilberry before their night flights. The berries are often used for fresh fruit, jams and jellies. The leaves can be used to make tea. Bilberry needs to be used over time in order for the body to best assimilate its unique nutritional properties.
BLACK COHOSH
CATAGORY: Urinary/Glandular
CONDITION: Arthritis, Asthma, Bronchitis, Menstrual Cramps, Pain
DESCRIPTION: Native to the forest regions of North America and Canada, Black Cohosh in the past was frequently applied to snake bites. For this reason it is sometimes called black snakeroot. Black Cohosh has been valued by many societies for its nutritional support for women. Having effective amounts of calcium, potassium, magnesium and iron, Black Cohosh is also an abundant source of estrogenic substances. Commonly used to relieve arthritis, lower back pain and cramps caused by menstruation, Black Cohosh also relieves mucus production easing persistent coughs caused by asthma, bronchitis and whooping cough. Additionally, Black Cohosh has been used to relieve swelling and soreness typical of rheumatism and it is also known as as safe sedative to relieve nervousness and anxiety.
BLACK CURRANT
CATAGORY: Immune System, Reproductive System, Nervous System
CONDITION: Low Energy, Skin Problems, Candida, High Blood Pressure, Alcoholism, Arthritis, Respiratory Problems, Inflammation, Pain, Overweight
DESCRIPTION: Black Currant Oil is a rich source of gamma-linolenic acid and alhpa-linolenic acid, and contains stearidonic acids. A rich source of essential fatty acids, Black Currant Oil provides the body with higher levels of gamma-linolenic acid than quantities found in evening primrose oil. The body does not produce certain essential fatty acids, and it is important to receive them via the diet. Black Currant Oil supplements the body with necessary essential fatty acids, which are vital for maintaining body temperature, building nerve insulation, protecting tissues and producing energy. Fatty acids are important for building prostaglandins, which are necessary for several body processes, including dilation of blood vessels, metabolizing cholesterol and other critical bio-chemical functions. Prostaglandins are essential hormone-like substances that help regulate systems functions, such as immune, reproductive, cardiovascular and nervous systems.
BLACK WALNUT
CATAGORY: Intestinal System
CONDITION: Bruises, Constipation, Poor Digestion, Skin Rash
DESCRIPTION: Black Walnut is a rich source of the trace mineral chromium and is also high in iodine. Its inner bark, leaves, fruit and unripe husk are used in herbology. The tree grows widely in the western U.S. and Canada. Herbalists classify it as an astringent because it is rich in tannin, a toning substance. The ancient Greeks used the husks to support the intestinal system. It is available in capsules and in an alcohol-base liquid form.
